Printing and page setup

[Matt]

I'm trying to print an excel spreadsheet I have to an
11x17 size piece of paper. I've changed the paper size in
the page setup and on print preview. First of all it
doesn't even look like Excel is recognizing the change in
the paper size I made secondly when I go to print i change
the source and paper size but it stills prints on 8x11
paper from the main tray. I have loaded the correct paper
in the tray I want to use but no luck...Ideas?

What version of excel are you using?

I _think_ that xl95 had this "feature". (But I don't think I've had a problem
with xl97/xl2k.)

I used to change the paper size within excel (File|PageSetup|Page tab). But I
also would change the printer via Windows Start Button|Settings|Printers.

But that was xl95 (and a long time ago). My memory may not be correct.

But maybe you could try it and see if it works. (Any other application print
11x17?)
